A characterful Grade II listed stone cottage occupying a peaceful semi-rural position with outstanding panoramic views across adjacent greenbelt. The living room retains exposed beams, a rustic brick fireplace and a solid-fuel stove that emphasise the property’s historic charm. The dining kitchen is fitted and practical, while two well-proportioned bedrooms and a boarded loft provide usable space for downsizers or those seeking a countryside retreat.
Practical positives include a double-width block-paved parking apron, an adjoining garden that opens onto open countryside and a low council tax band. The village setting is quiet yet convenient: local schools are within walking distance and Slaithwaite/Marsden rail links offer routes to Huddersfield and Manchester. Flood risk is low and the property sits in an affluent, low-crime area.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate repair or extension work. The stone walls are likely uninsulated, heating is supplied by an LPG boiler and energy efficiency is modest (Energy Rating E). Broadband speeds are reported very slow, which may affect remote working. Prospective purchasers should check title boundaries and any rights of way referenced in the deeds.
This cottage will suit someone who values character, views and a quiet village lifestyle over turnkey modern convenience. It offers immediate charm with clear potential for sympathetic updating where permitted by listing consent. For those prioritising high-speed connectivity or major modernisation without constraints, this may require careful consideration.
